CSquared has filed paperwork to connect with LINX Accra, the London Internet Exchange's freshly minted peering hub in Ghana, as the pan-African infrastructure firm tightens its grip on regional backbone capacity. The application follows the company's recent deployment of cross-border fibre threading through Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, and Burkina Faso, a terrestrial spine designed to complement subsea routes such as Equiano, for which CSquared operates landing infrastructure in Togo.

LINX Accra spans redundant sites at Onix and PAIX, with a third node at Digital Realty's ACR2 facility slated to go live soon, enabling local traffic exchange that sidesteps costly international transit. Jennifer Holmes, chief executive at LINX, welcomed the move as validation from a heavyweight regional player. Ian Paterson, CSquared's chief, framed the peering tie-up as a step toward resilient, scalable Internet architecture across West Africa.
